Chapter 163 Meeting at Yaochi Palace

It was exactly what Qi Yu thought. During this period of time, Queen Mother of the West was in high spirits and extremely proud.

After all, after successfully forcing Dong Wanggong to retreat, she took charge of the Dongji ancestral temple and truly monopolized power. Whatever she thought of was accomplished, and her decrees were obeyed by everyone in the Xuanmen sect. She actually had the momentum of a “Heavenly Emperor”!

Under such circumstances, the Queen Mother of the West’s mind was of course clear, and as her heart for the Tao began to sprout, she made some progress in her spiritual practice.

This was a double happiness. For a moment, the Queen Mother of the Jade Pool seemed to be walking with the wind, and the entire Jade Pool clan was the same. Everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, and there were frequent banquets and celebrations, with the sounds of singing, dancing and music continuing every day.

In other words, this time, Qi Yu’s return from Fengqi Mountain was a top-notch event, otherwise, at this moment, the Queen Mother of the West would probably still be at the banquet in the Heavenly Palace, presiding over the ceremony of all the immortals!
Fortunately, although the Queen Mother of the West was immersed in the joy of victory, she was far from losing her mind. She was even more experienced than the King of the East in handling the affairs of the Xuanmen and the government affairs of Dongji. After hearing that Qi Yu had returned, she sent people to invite him as soon as possible, and even went to meet him in person outside the Yaochi.

Qi Yu was satisfied with this. Of course, the ally he needed had to be a strong man, but more importantly, he had to be clear-headed. If the Queen Mother of the West and the King of the East were as ambitious but incompetent, then Qi Yu would probably have to break off ties with them.

Fortunately, from the current perspective, Queen Mother of the West is far from this.

After greeting each other and chatting briefly for a few minutes, the Queen Mother of the West and Qi Yu soon arrived at the main hall of the Yaochi Palace. After taking their seats, the two first talked about the recent political affairs in the Dongji Ancestral Temple, including the Queen Mother of the West’s rearrangement of various departments in the Heavenly Palace after the departure of the King of the East.

This naturally included the reshuffle of many forces. After all, both Xuanmen and Dongji Zuting had investments from many divine clans. It was just that the people behind the Queen Mother of the West did not overlap with the King of the East.

Now that power has been transferred, the interests of the defeated party in the Xuanmen will naturally be divided up. At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West is briefing Qi Yu, and at the same time, she is also handing over some key positions that have been pending to the latter.

Qi Yu didn’t really care about this, but considering that he was not alone and had supporters and ministers under his command, he nodded immediately and planned to hand over these matters to Wenjia Daojun to arrange.

After finishing these minor matters, he signaled the Queen Mother of the West to dismiss her attendants and raised the magic ban in the Yaochi Palace to isolate heaven and earth. After doing all this and they were the only two left in the hall, Qi Yu began to talk about “real business” and told the Queen Mother of the West everything about the negotiations that took place in Fengqi Mountain.

The amount of information contained in this was so huge that it immediately shocked the Queen Mother of the West, who had been enjoying the banquet in the Heavenly Palace recently.

Against heaven?

Seize the Three Emperors’ throne?

Rebuilding heaven?
Are these things something she should know now? !

After hearing that the Three Pure Ones and the Fengqi Mountain lineage were all going to participate, and that Qi Yu in front of her was also an important member, Queen Mother of the West felt a headache that she hadn’t felt for a long time.

Of course, she knew some of the Three Pure Ones’ ideas, and was also clear about the true significance of the development of the immortal path and the ambitions of the immortals in the Xuanmen sect. However, in her opinion, things should not have reached the point of rebellion so quickly. For a queen who had just seized the throne of the gods, this kind of thing was really a bit “radical”.

However, Queen Mother of the West was obviously no mediocre person. After a brief headache and shock, she immediately calmed down and began to rationally analyze the pros and cons and the outcome of the battle for both sides.

After a brief thought, the flame of ambition suddenly burned in the eyes of this Jin De Dao Mu, because she suddenly realized that what Qi Yu had seized was indeed an excellent opportunity.

Faced with such a rare opportunity, how could the Queen Mother of the West be willing to miss it? She must participate in it and share some of the benefits!

However, like Fuxi, Queen Mother of the West did not give in immediately, but took the lead in raising several questions of her own.

“The position of the Human Emperor, the Queen Mother of Heaven has probably passed it on to the Emperor Hong family? Daoyou must have persuaded this junior brother of mine with the identity of the human race’s saint master, so that he was able to lead the Human Emperor into the Xuanmen.”

“Regarding this, I will not force you to answer. Of course, you don’t have to deny it. This matter is of great importance. You dared to act like this at that time. It was something that ordinary people could not do.”

“In this case, Brother Sanqing must also know what you are planning. The two Heavenly Lords of Fengqi Mountain should be the second one?”

“You came to me after you had reached an agreement with Fengqishan. I guess I can be considered a third party. I wonder if you will contact anyone else after this?”

In a short period of time, Queen Mother of the West analyzed a lot of things from Qi Yu’s words, including who was the successor to the throne of the Human Emperor chosen by the Purple Light Queen, the attitude of the Three Pure Ones towards Qi Yu’s arrangements, etc. She already had her own considerations in her mind.

Qi Yu was not surprised by this. Queen Mother of the West was definitely a strong person whose ambition matched her strength. This strength was not only reflected in her cultivation, but also in her network of relationships and judgment. It could be said that she was naturally a master at governing. After skipping the first question, Qi Yu answered.

“Your Highness’s guess is correct. The three Heavenly Lords have already known about this matter. Although it was my own decision to contact Fengqi Mountain, I think the three Taoist brothers will not have any objections.”

“As for you, Madam, you are indeed a third party in this matter. In addition to you and Fengqishan, the two Heavenly Lords, I am afraid that there will be a need for a Red Emperor in the future Heavenly Court. For this, Madam, do you have any candidates?”

Faced with Qi Yu’s question, Queen Mother of the West frowned for a moment. After all, it was indeed difficult to find a candidate for the Fire Emperor.

For example, the demon clan’s Di Jun, this faction was originally considered their half-ally, so Di Jun should have been a good candidate. However, Qi Yu’s plan this time was actually tantamount to rebellion, and if nothing unexpected happened, the target of their rebellion was Di Jun, the heir valued by Taiyi.

In this situation, should we give Di Jun a chance to turn the tables? As for Di Jun, would he give up his position as the fifth generation Heavenly Emperor and settle for the next best thing, becoming the rotating Heavenly Emperor of the Fire Virtue lineage?
Impossible to think about!

If Di Jun is like this, then Zhu Rong, the ancestor of the Wu Clan, is naturally even worse. The Xuan Clan and the Wu Clan have long been enemies and conflicts have never ceased, but the two sides have never chosen to engage in a head-on battle!
In this situation, choosing Zhu Rong, is that a joke? Apart from anything else, according to the Queen Mother of the West, this good Taoist friend in front of her is probably the biggest obstacle. If she dares to mention it, he might turn hostile on the spot!

Apart from witches and demons, the only lineage that has always been relatively powerful in the Avenue of Fire Virtue is the Phoenix Palace. The Queen Mother Tianhuang, who is now in charge of the Phoenix clan, is barely qualified to be one of the candidates.

But after Queen Mother West thought about it carefully, she felt that something was not right. Goddess Tianhuang was not only close to her, but also had a very good relationship with Nuwa. It could even be said that the entire Phoenix clan had a deep connection with the Fengqi Mountain lineage.

And since Fengqishan has already occupied the throne of two lineages, if they introduce more strong reinforcements to them, it might be detrimental to the stability of the future immortal heaven, and Qi Yu would still be dissatisfied.

After thinking about it, Queen Mother of the West finally rejected this idea.

After rejecting three people in succession, Queen Mother of the West could not think of any good candidate for a while. There was no need to consider people like Duke of the East at all. She immediately looked at Qi Yu in front of her and spoke.

“I calculated in my mind, but for a moment, I couldn’t find any suitable candidate.”

“Come to think of it, do you have any candidate in mind?”

In a blink of an eye, Queen Mother of the West threw the question back to Qi Yu, and Qi Yu smiled and shook his head and spoke.

“For the moment, I don’t have any suitable person in mind, so let’s put this matter aside for now.”

“Fortunately, although the status of a god is important, it does not affect the overall situation. We can discuss this matter later.”

Seeing Qi Yu said this, Queen Mother of the West naturally skipped this topic for the time being. However, what the latter did not know at the moment was that Qi Yu actually already had a candidate for the position of Red Emperor in his mind, but he did not intend to announce it so early.

Afterwards, the two discussed some details about the future of Heaven. When talking about the rotating Heavenly Emperor taking the Three Emperors’ positions as the foundation, the Queen Mother of the West raised a new question.

“The throne of the Human Emperor has been passed to Emperor Hong, but in my opinion, Emperor Hong may not be qualified to assume the responsibility of being a god. Then, how should the throne of the Human Emperor be determined? Do you have any plans for this?”

The question from the Queen Mother of the West was a bit sharp, but it was indeed unavoidable. The throne of the Human Emperor was passed down to Emperor Hong by the Queen Mother of Purple Light, and there was a legal system behind it. It was through Emperor Hong that Qi Yu introduced this original throne into the immortal way. In this way, Emperor Hong also made a great contribution.

Under such circumstances, it is obviously inappropriate to kill the donkey after it has done its job, but forcing Emperor Hong to the throne will not convince the people, which is obviously not a solution either.

Therefore, how to make a choice in order to take care of Emperor Hong while maintaining the majesty of the Five Gods and the Rotating Heavenly Emperor is a very critical issue.

Fortunately, Qi Yu was also prepared for this question. He looked at the Queen Mother of the West in front of him and smiled.

“Don’t worry, madam. I have some ideas. Let me tell you in detail.”

I encountered a small matter today, so I started writing a little late. There is still one chapter to be written later, so I still stayed up late to write it and then post it in the early morning.
